Working and Gender i did when i was growing up. I used to see my father go to work when my mother would stay home and take care of me and my brother. While growing up I thought that was normal for women to stay home cook and clean and take care of the children. My mother stayed at home with us for a couple of years then she when to work. My mother used to take of elderly patients. My father was a seaman always traveling. I really didnt look at what positions men or women did until i joined the work in my last year of high school. I work in a department store for a couple of months as a sales girl. Now when i look back the women would be on the sales floor helping customers when the men would be at the back unloading the trucks. Looking back gender did play a role in our life. Before only women would become nurses now today you see men as a nurse. I guess while growing up men had to do mucho men work when the women did women duties like cook and clean.
